File Manager (Data – Arrange)
The Arrange tab in the Data popup menu manages the files in the internal and external memories that
can be used for mass storage. The menu is particularly useful for handling files containing user data
such as:
• Screenshots (*.wmf or printer format, see section Print Menu (PRINT Menu) on p. 4.4 f.)
• Log files (special binary *.log format, see section Layer 3 Message Log (Data – Logging) on p. 4.25
ff.)
• Remote report files (ASCii text files, see description of the remote screen in Chapter 5)
An extended file management functionality is available in remote control; see MMEMory system in
Chapter 6.
DATA
Fig. 4-19 Data – Arrange menu
File selection The stored files can be selected from a tree view in the center of the menu. The
tree can be expanded and compressed using the roll-key and the ON/OFF key (see
Chapter 3, Expanding menu tables). It starts from the nodes for the EXTERNAL
and INTERNAL mass storage devices:
EXTERNAL Root directory of the external storage device. Depending on the
instrument configuration, this can be a floppy disk or a PCMCIA
memory card, inserted in slot 0 (right side) of the PCMCIA
interface. The Data menu does not discriminate between the two
slots. If an attempt is made to expand the EXTERNAL directory
while no external storage device is present, the CMU displays
the following message:
! Accept the message, insert a suitable storage device and try
again to expand the EXTERNAL directory and view its
contents.
INTERNAL Root directory of the section on the internal hard disk that is
reserved for mass storage.
